Customer Reviews
I love everything about those trousers. The comfortable fit and the nices finishes. The stape by stape is really helpful.
Trousers: they can be tricky, trying, terrific or a little bit terrifying. So for this pattern as a first time make I used a cheap cotton drill to see how they would work out before I make them in a more expensive material. I top sewed everything I could, just to have more practice in accuracy and I did the buttoned fly. As I generally fit a size 14 quite well I only made small adjustments to the waist, but added quite a bit of length as I am quite tall. I am pleased with the finish I was able to achieve, but a heavier weight drill would have been better. All that aside I find that they are very comfortable, and I do wear them a lot. Next time I will take a little out of the fullness below the hips to get a slightly straighter profile. Now I have confidence with this pattern I believe I could make a pair in denim as jeans. The instructions were first class as always with Modern Sewing company, so much so that I hesitate to buy other patterns now.
Great pattern. We used this in a trouser fitting workshop run by #FabricGodmother. I changed the front to flat, but that meant I had to put a side opening in a seam that had a pocket. I also added back darts. Overall very happy with my trousers. Plenty to adapt next time.
